WilsonWeb now offers a new Search
Widget. A customer can now
create a single search text entry box (similar to the WilsonWeb Basic
Search screen) on any page they have created, giving users the ease of
doing a WilsonWeb search from any page location. Users will be
authenticated either by their IP/Referrer Page authentication (the
default) or by UserID and Password. Customers now have the option to
search WilsonWeb without first having to go to WilsonWeb’s native
interface, if desired.
The URL to reach the WilsonWeb Search
Widget Builder (including instructions), is:
http://www.hwwstats.com/utilities/wilsonweb/widgets/Index.cfm .
The WilsonWeb Widget Builder is easy to
use

- Starting with how your users are authenticated into
WilsonWeb.
Choices include:
- IP/Referrer Page Authentication - This is the default
setting.

subscribes to.
